Question

So I got a tabcontrol that is bound to an list(has name and code). And this is working perfectly

<TabControl.ContentTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <sp:ucercontroltest  DataContext="{Binding}"  strname="{Binding Path=name}" strcode="{Binding Path=code}"  />
    </DataTemplate>
</TabControl.ContentTemplate>

But if I would add a Button(btntestbutton) on usercontroltest with an event, that if the button is clicked I want the button to be disabled (btntestbutton.IsEnabled = false) then it gets disabled on ALL the usercontrols(tabs)! How can I prevent it from all being shared wich each other so If I for example want to disable the button on 1 usercontrol so that I don t automaticly disable all of them.

As far as i know TabControls reuse the controls created from the ContentTemplate, one way to have a state unique to the tabs would be to bind the IsEnabled property of the button to a property on the VM of each tab, then the state would adjust on tab-switch. (Of course you then would need to adjust the VM property in the handler, not the IsEnabled)
